This past year has been an outstanding one for the small screen. From binge-worthy Netflix shows like the adorable/terrifying Stranger Things to groundbreaking comedies with more than a hint of much-needed social commentary like Donald Glover's Atlanta, there's been something on TV for everyone in every mood. Come September 17, we'll all be watching the Stephen Colbert-hosted event to see who takes away the golden accolade as the best in their category, but for now check out the list of Emmy award nominees below:
